[Talk-us] TIGER fixup for Hurricane Harvey potential impact areas

[Brian May]

There is now a task in the OSM Task Manager to help coordinate the 
effort at http://tasks.openstreetmap.us/project/104

There is also a WMS layer of Texas statewide streets available at 
http://maps.mapwise.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=maps/fmo-base-osm-texas.map& 
- use that URL in JOSM.

Adding WMS layer to JOSM tutorial here:

The streets are from: https://tnris.org/data-catalog/entry/txdot-roadways/
